Backflush SystemsThe PBI Ross Holm that I've seen never worked right. It was a good idea but one more thing to go wrong. You never see any new dairy's installing them. Like I said if your good at cow prep and culture your herd, you will be just as well off without the repaires. J B is there any reserch that suports that back flush is better then good cow prep and culturing cows?? What did that system cost you? And how much do you spend on repairs? And by how much do you figure it helps you eliminate clinical mastitis? If it was all that great and there was enough resurch to suport it. It would be permoted for future use not a thing of the past.

Re: Backflush Systemscraigalea we have someone near us who milks 400 cows and the dont prep dont strip only dip at end and thet have a cell count around 150 most times - pretty impressive. they say they find mastitus when they come to dip and the cow is heavy etc.. saves so much time.
